Kaylee Gain St Louis [UPDATE] - Multiple Fundraisers Set Up for Victim of Hazelwood East High School Attack

The family of Kaylee Gain, the Hazelwood East High School attack victim who remains hospitalized in St Louis, has set up multiple fundraisers to raise money to fund her recovery.

Kaylee was the victim of a brutal assault that occurred near the campus of Hazelwood East High School weeks back.

A fight broke out Friday, March 8th near the school’s premises involving a group of students that left one student, Kaylee Gain, hospitalized in a St Louis area hospital.

A video of the fight showed Kailee of Hazelwood East High School having her head slammed into concrete repeatedly by another female student, identified as Maurnice Declue.

Kaylee has since been hospitalized and remains in critical condition with a skull fracture, frontal lobe damage, major brain bleeding and swelling.

In a recent heartwarming update, her family revealed Kaylee is in ‘stable’ condition and now breathing on her own after being moved out of the ICU.

“We are truly blessed by the outpouring of support and your prayers. It means so much to us!” a family member wrote.

As of March 30th, her family’s revealed Kaylee has regained limited speech and is undergoing speech therapy as well as going for short walks.

“[Kaylee] “has been able to engage in limited verbal conversations,” her family said, adding: “

“Kaylee also recently began speech therapy, and has gone on a few short walks with the assistance of hospital staff as she is still unable to ambulate on her own,” attorney Bryan Kaemmerer said.

“However, Kaylee does not have any recollection of the altercation that led to her hospitalization.”

In a subsequent April 1 update, family attorney Kaemmerer said Gain seems to know that she is in the hospital but she does not understand why.

In “limited conversations,” Gain “tends to reiterate the same short sentences over and over,” Kaemmerer says in the statement.

The statement also notes that Gain is still unable to walk without the assistance of hospital staff.

Kaylee Gain St Louis Gofundme

Two separate fundraisers have been set up on Gofundme by family and friends of the victim of the East Hazelwood High School fight, Kaylee Gain.

One fundraiser, titled ‘Kaylee on her Road to Recovery’, was set up by Sarah Hall.

She writes: “Dear Friends and Family, I am organizing this Gofundme for Kaylee’s family.

“With heavy hearts I am asking for support for our beloved Kaylee and family. In minutes, this family’s life shattered when their only daughter was assaulted outside of a North County high school.

“She was left alone on the ground to convulse before EMTs arrived on the scene. She was admitted to one of the local hospitals in Saint Louis with a skull fracture and frontal lobe damage.

“She has major brain bleeding and swelling and is in critical condition. Kaylee is fighting hard to stay alive and heal but this is only the beginning of a very uphill battle for Kaylee and her family.

“We will not know the extent of the brain damage that has occurred until she wakes up but the path to recovery will be extremely hard on the family, not only mentally but financially.

“Her mother and father are staying by her side night and day hoping to bring her back to the Kaylee they know and love. Your support would help with lost wages and piling up medical bills due to intensive care treatment.

“Every Donation, big or small, will go directly towards easing these stressful days, allowing Kaylee’s family to be able to be there 100% for her day and night and help with the medical bills that they foresee.

“For anyone that is or cannot donate now, please keep Kaylee in your thoughts and prayers for a full recovery. Please share this far and wide so that we can reach everyone’s hearts in this family’s time of need.

“The overwhelming response from friends, family, and the community has already brought the family to tears. They offer everyone their deepest gratitude. Thank you for coming together for them in this time of need. ❤️”

That fundraiser, with a goal of $120,000, has raised $95,365 at the time of filing this report.

The second fundraiser, ‘Kaylee’s Recovery funds’, was set up by Hayden Gain, a cousin of Kaylee’s.

She writes: “Kaylee is a great cousin, an amazing sister to her siblings & many would say a great daughter to her parents. But on March 8th she was violently attacked and has unfortunately suffered traumatic brain injuries.

“When her parents found out they were shocked and devastated. When I found out I knew I had to do something and that’s why I made this GoFundMe page. We the rest of the family and Kaylee’s parents are wishing her the best. Every dollar donated will go towards Kaylee’s care and help her recover.

“We are all hoping that Kaylee will be ok but until then we have a long road ahead until we know for sure. I am hoping I can help my cousin out of the hospital as soon as possible.

“Note from Kaylee’s parents – we are deeply touched that Kaylee’s cousin was moved to find a way to help the family during this crisis. We are so grateful for the amazing medical staff who have been working tirelessly to give her the best possible chance at a full recovery.

“We know she has a very long road ahead of her but we remain hopeful. We are so overwhelmed by all the support and love. Thank you!”

The 2nd fundraiser, with a goal of $10,000, had raised $1,100 at the time of filing this report.
